Is there an award for worst infield? WHIR

[jacktowner]

My infield has been struggling since the beginning of the season, and I have seen no sign of improvement. My IF BA is .222 on the year, while my OF BA is .281.

I have been plagued by 3 players:
Alexei Ramirez - 16 R/0 HR/12 RBI/.221 AVG/.762 OPS
Jose Lopez - 8 R/1 HR/12 RBI/.216 AVG/.522 OPS
Chone Figgins - 14 R/0 HR/9 RBI/.185 AVG/.555 OPS

I hate to give up on these guys and then they start performing as they should. Should I drop Rowand and pick up another infielder? I have Escobar coming off the DL tomorrow, which should help some, and I also have Brian Roberts who should be activated June 6.

Here's a few I am interested in - if I should drop Rowand, who should I pick up?
Cristian Guzman - 16 R/0 HR/12 RBI/.315 AVG/.762 OPS
Gaby Sanchez - 13 R/3 HR/17 RBI/.278 AVG/.805 OPS
Luke Scott - 13 R/6 HR/14 RBI/.213 AVG/.743 OPS
Russell Branyan - 6 R/3 HR/7 RBI/.273 AVG/.892 OPS
Daric Barton - 18 R/2 HR/14 RBI/.285 AVG/.815 OPS

Is there any other IF that should be on my radar?

Thanks, WHIR

Is Freese available?

I'd go with Guzman here. He should improve your AVG for the time being, until your better infielders like Figgins and Ramirez figure things out.

Thanks for the help on mine.

Yeah that or possibly drop Rowand for Barton... but it may just be a waiting game here.

Freese was picked up a couple of weeks ago. I did manage to pick up Aviles however.
